With recent enough QEMU (yet unreleased) there's 'legacy-vm-type'
attribute of 'sev-guest' object. It controls whether QEMU uses
newer or older interface to init SEV guests. As a result, the
measurements (e.g. implemented in tools/virt-qemu-sev-validate)
are affected. There's no clear benefit in switching to the new
interface and thus we should set the attribute to keep old style
of measurements.
